mircea_popescu: it's made like a gauntlet for the reader, that's for sure.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and i resent trackbacks ten minutes ago or os.
mircea_popescu: i'd be seriously insulted if i actually were to take the us seriously.
mircea_popescu: doesn't this disparity seem scandalous ? whence the gall to "punish" a cia boss.
mircea_popescu: well if they make it so it can also be accessed without a card, i'm probably getting an infinity of them.
mircea_popescu: but it only engages if someone clicks a header. so pretty safe.
mircea_popescu: mike_c from experience, even tables with > 10k entries are sortable. just takes a sec.
mircea_popescu: it's this entire "empowerment" idiocy going around the english space these decades.
mircea_popescu: the guy had issues. if you think you can swallow a tractor, then by the same head you will probably also think you can swallow it underwater.
mircea_popescu: " and in a memorable email exchange said it was investigating exchange MPEx owner Mircea Popescu over the sale of popular gambling site SatoshiDICE for over $11.5m in bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: "The issuers paid 11,450 LTC and 210 BTC in listing fees, respectively."
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski also in the news, you didn't send a pingback.
mircea_popescu: "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video."
mircea_popescu: besides, erryone gets to set their own priorities and so on.
mircea_popescu: speculating because well, never heard anything specific on the topic.
mircea_popescu: what i imagine is the case is - nano was planning to make an upgraded gribble for what, coupla years now. he's probably thinking to have it done in one piece.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne there was some discussion re making them communicate, but no concrete steps towards gribble becoming able to sign its stuff so far.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, prolly a lot more crucial here than in -otc, so some sort of decoupling was probably unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: wot is a crucial bit of infrastructure, and so it's watched and protected accordingly.
mircea_popescu: well at that time you couldn't tell what happened. for all you know, nano was usg-kidnapped.
mircea_popescu: turns out the guy was just traveling at the time (was right around the new year).
mircea_popescu: gribble went down at some point. this is rare, but whatever, happens. nanotube was also unresponsive. after a few days in this position assbot got enabled to wot
☟︎ mircea_popescu: -5anduck1.07483Dec. 22, 2014idiot. does not understand how bitcoin works.
mircea_popescu: who, for what reason, would ever put themselves in this situation ?
mircea_popescu: " the line to get on the elevator was a good hour long."
mircea_popescu: williamdunne certainly if you keep going at the present rate o.O
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a toy, like any other. people learning and kids are more than welcome to their fun, what.
mircea_popescu: but people who actually care about 0tx are currently in practice and are in theory much better served by just keeping vpn links to actual main nodes.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne explain how ? verification doesn't happen faster for having more nodes doing it.
mircea_popescu: it's the usg playbook : give more people the illusion of participation, so you can take more control of the underlying processes.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the important function of nodes is storage.
mircea_popescu: this is not particularly useful tho, once you have 10 nodes doing verification, it's done. what's X gonna find that Y does not ?
mircea_popescu: but considering the rest of the problems they have, to them it's minor, and to us... well we didn't care before, either.
mircea_popescu: once people involved start imagining that holding up signs / drinking coffee is relevant to bitcoin, they have somewhat of a problem
mircea_popescu: there isn't anything particularly wrong with the approach, much like there isn't anything wrong with holding up a sign, or drinking a cup of coffee.
mircea_popescu: 'pruning' offers a guarantee that the node won't be able to offer you a block which contains all spent outputs.
mircea_popescu: i imagine what it'll actually lead to is more people with full nodes running longer shitlists of AOL type nodes.
mircea_popescu: but yes, broadly speaking the efforts of power rangers are irrelevant to bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: jurov i vaguely recall asking kako to reference by ip at some point
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla any idea why assbot keeps finding pages not found ? adds something after url maybe ?
mircea_popescu: not bad, not bad. conference last week, fetlife this week...
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c also, any idea why some rating comments appear empty ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c can it has anchor on "Ratings sent" and "ratings received" ?
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.mike_c.4:653bdc8294b5de053f1d44a45f0cee61dd1fa55e80c9fddf919787223bc8fbb2
